Welds are amazing, rides really nice...once we make it a bit closer to summer time I'm looking forward to doing more bike packing and see how much it improves that setup when I actually need to carry stuff.

Very cool Pete! It looks the business and quite functional as well!

Bought zero, rode a bike on a beautiful Nor Cal day.

There is currently a Force 22 compact crankset on here currently. I have a silver WI VBC 48/32 crankset that will
probably make its way on there in the coming days. Looking forward to seeing silver arms on this thing.

Happy Holidays!

Very nice. Still one of my favorite bikes on here.

What fender + tire setup do you have on there? Looking to convert my BMC Monstercross from knobby WTB Nanos to smooth tires (probably GK) + fenders.

Thanks, much appreciated. I’m pretty stoked on this thing as well. The fenders are SKS P45's with 38mm Terravail Ramparts on HED Belgiums. It’s a pretty nice set up overall.

I also have a BMC MCD with a similar set up. 44mm Compass Snoqualmie Pass EL’s / SKS P50 fenders / HED Beligium Plus. Very plush and nice riding setup on the MCD. The other MCD wheel setup up is WTB Riddler 45 / WTB KOM i23 no fenders for this set up though.

Good memories hiking Mohonk, Summer 2006. Much of it barefoot. Ahh, young love. And NP is a cool little town.
